As a kid growing up in rural Alabama....we had these characters. The best way to describe them.....they'd hear that Maytag had a new 'silent' washer, and they'd go and spend $600 to buy one....taking it to the garage, and tearing it apart...to find the silence thing, and how it worked. Then they'd sit there with a Pall Mall cigarette hanging out of the side of their mouth....sipping a PBR....devising the same thing, but making even more silent than what Maytag could manufacture.
These were the people asking how you could charge the Air Force $800 for a special hammer....trying to understand what made it different.
The thing about these characters....they weren't engineers, or dedicated to one single area of 'science'.
If you told Elon there's too much fat content in Pop-Tarts or we need a way to crank a car without a battery being involved....he'd put his passion into resolving the issue.
This Twitter discussion? Lets be honest....more than half the content-writers of Twitter are fussy over how it works, and the Twitter-heads, Twitter-mob and Twitter-hoards are unable to comprehend or resolve this issue. So Elon figures....he can fix this....make it profitable (since day one, it's not been profitable), and make everyone but the Twitter staff happy.
Here's the thing....Elon can be anything. Bill Gates, all of Apple, the pro-woke crowd.....they can't be Elon. They have limits.
My gut-feeling on Elon? Rocket science really isn't rocket science, with Elon around.
